Ford Focus 2012Change

The car look great, it's drive great but in 5 years, Ford had to change to transmission 3 times because of the "jeeking" it's making. For the fuel consumption, i do 8L/100km in mixing driving.

Uncomfortable, gutless and overall not impressive. Only plus is good mileage on the 5 speed manual. Typical Ford quality leaves much to be desired. Some decent features standard on the SE but the layout of controls is crowded, and ugly.

It's a great car with a punch. Great price for what you get.quality materials and solid craftsmanship make the 2012 Focus’ cabin feel more upscale than some rivals’. The sedan offers a competitive amount of cargo space for the class and the hatchback offers even more room. The 2012 Ford Focus comes standard with a four-speaker audio system with a CD player, an auxiliary input, a tilt and telescopic steering wheel, power front windows and power door locks. Available features include a MyFord Touch infotainment system with a touch screen, Ford’s voice-activated SYNC system, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, front and rear parking sensors, a power-adjustable driver seat, leather seats and navigation.

It is so easy to drive and adjust to The driving is so easy and comfortable for all passengers. The radio is good too

This car rates high in reliability, affordability, sportsmanship, and excellence. I have never once regretted this particular purchase, and would highly recommend to anyone in the market to purchase this brand and make of vehicle.

Everything has been great. No major issues at all. I have been able to keep up with all regular maintenance.

This was my best car! Handles very well, reliable and lots of fun to drive! This car is exactly as all professional reviews and more!

Its been a great car, reliable, efficient, great options for the price I paid. Compared to our Toyota Matrix, its on a completely different level.

In 2012 we rented a Focus to drive the Pacific Coast highway in California. It was perfect. We had the car for a week and we're so impressed. We couldn't stop praising the ride to our friends when we talked about the trip. Fast forward to the present. I was in an accident and broke my right wrist. My current car has a standard transmission. It was impossible for me to drive it and I didn't know if I would ever be able to shift gears manually again. We went out and compared a lot of other cars but, nothing pleased me like the Ford Focus. Turns out my wrist has healed and I can drive the standard transmission still. The Focus will be in my future again.

The best handling car I've ever driven! Great fuel mileage, stunning looks and very comfortable. Fully loaded with every option and they were all great

Great all around car. Great safety for your passengers. Loads of room for a growing family. lots of trunk space.

In my opinion the car looks great.
Inside, it has numerous adjustments to make the fit - fit.
I love the race car like blind spot mirrors. Low tech maybe, but effective. The sigh lines from within are very good.
There is easy access into and egress out of the car. Seldom does a front seat occupant need to slide the seat ahead for a rear seat occupant.
The rear seat folds down for that extra cargo capacity.
The car rides tight. It doesn't 'float' like a boat, but rather gives good road feel well within the realms of good long drive comfort.
If you are not careful, I found the speed can easily get up there without the feeling of going fast however. Cruise control often helps out there however.
I don't know that I drive in a manner that takes fuel consumption to the max. One tank of gas in the city typically gets me 600 kms. One the highway, depending on many variables of course, I've been really impressed with fuel economy. - Again, I don't drive 55 km/hr on the highway, so I suppose it can still be better.
I like the ride.

This is by far most stylish, gas saving/insurance saving car I have ever had. Never a single problem, everything like new. Great car inside out

Great handling, powerful little car
excellent gas mileage
Hauled hockey bags and ski equipment and furniture
It's amazing how much you can fit in this car

Bought used with just 18,000km, every bell and whistle. After 3 weeks the transmission was shot. In less than 1 year the transmission has been repaired 3 times rebuilt twice. The first repair replaced a total of 15 parts plus clutch assembly and repaired a leak. The 3rd repair replaced exactly the same parts. The loaner I was given had a transmission almost as bad as my car. It rides like a truck. I find interior small and trunk space poor. Can't wait to get rid of it but feel guilty for pawning this lemon off on someone unsuspecting.

This car is a fantastic car for anyone that needs a small car to get to work or just get around. It gets great full economy and has had absolutely no mechanical problems. USB and Bluetooth are great features for hands free calling and voice commands.

I go from a Shelby GT 500 to a Ford Focus on a regular basis and even though they are worlds apart you still get great Ford reliability, style and creature comforts. Tons of space for both passengers and luggage, a bit weak on the engine, but great feeling on the road, responsive steering and suspension makes this one of my favorite city driving cars. I have the manual transmission and gear changes are easy, although the spring in the clutch can give you a sore leg in heavy traffic. Ford SYNC that links your phone and iElectronics is probably one of the most user friendly in the industry and makes this a fun car with a purpose.

first, the motor make sthe entire car vibrate. I made a recent trip to toronto from ottawa and my hands were numb from the cars vibrations. Our local dealerhsip said that this is a ongoing issue and have had alot of complaints about it with this car. second, rides terrible, you can feel every bump and crack in the road and alot of road noice. terrible location for the heated seat adjustment, just infront of the center console, you have to reach in and back. fuel millage is good, expected better. maybe had higher expections for this cars fuel economy. Trunk size is modest, can fit 6 tires in there(Hatchback model). a little tight for child car seats. I am 6' and cannot sit in the front seat in which the car seat is behind. handles well in winter conditions with snow tires on it. axcelleration is horrific but cruises well above 110KPH. just rolled 20,000km and no maint req'd yet other then the required oil changes. A good car for teenagers and retired folk. not a recommended buy.

The ride is firm but not harsh. Excellent combination of ride and handling. I also like the sound of the engine at startup as it sounds gutsy. This car has more power than any other car in its class. The 6-speed dual clutch transmission is not the best but decent in acceleration and fuel mileage. In short, the Focus goes from a grandma car to a teenage car. Civic, Corolla, Cruize doesn't come close. I believe the Mazda 3 is the only competitor in the class. BTW, spent a week with the cruze and started having back problems as I had back operation several years back. The focus seats are just amazing even after many hours behind the wheel. Can't say enough about this little bombshell.

Rented this car for 3 weeks in 2012. The first thing I liked was the size of the trunk. It fit 3 large suitcases and a carry-on. The fuel economy was also great, it did about 650 km/tank. I drove it about 5000 km and was never overly uncomfortable at any time. All in all, it's a car I'd consider buying.

this car is a very good car to own you got comfort got performance good fuel economy the interior design very good
the exterior style is sweet and its reliable

Quick, responsive, sporty feel, while maintains excellent fuel economy. Fit and Finish well done, and Microsoft Sync system is amazing. Have had numerous compliments on the car. Very impressive redesign. Even has adequate space for 4 adults to travel around town comfortably.

Comfortable and easy to drive. Have not had a problem with it since I bought the car over a year ago.

excellent car, love the look and drives great. only complaint is that the computer inside is sometimes tempermental and there's no warning light for the windshield washer fluid.

I have had this car since 2011 and I have only had very minor troubles with it. Ford has been very helpful though and most of the problems were due to recalls.
